This white paper offers advice from two industry experts, Jill Northup from Medical College of Wisconsin, and Philip Cotter from ResearchDx, on setting up a clinical NGS laboratory. The paper covers the general principles of CLIA certification and their specific application to clinical NGS, as well as considerations on implementing informatics to support validated workflows.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of bisulfite-converted DNA to detect methylation status with per-base resolution is currently restricted by input requirements, requiring at least 50 ng of DNA. This Application Note shows how the unique chemistry of the Accel-NGSMethyl-Seq DNA Library Kit enables the construction of high complexity libraries for:

Humanized NSG and NSG-SGM3 mice are a new preclinical bridge for immune-oncology therapies. Humanized mice are a proven host for engraftment of human tumors or establishment of human immunity following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Understanding the interactions between human immune cells and tumors is paramount when devising treatment strategies that prevent tumor evasion of immune cells and improve cytotoxic responses.
